Notes

AW is Mk 1 MR2, AE 86 is RWD Corolla GTS/Sprinter Levin/Sprinter Trueno. AE 82, AE 92, AE 101

and AE 111 are FWD only Corollas, Sprinter Truenos, Sprinter Levins, and Marinos etc.

AE 85 is 3A 1500cc SOHC version of AE 86, AE 91 is 4AFE Narrow Angle 16 Valve version of AE 92

etc.

MAP is Manifold Air Pressure sensor airflow measurement; AFM is measurement by Air Flow Meter.

TVIS is a set of butterflies that close off one of the intake valve ports below 4500 rpm to increase air
flow and fuel atomization. They are operated by manifold vacuum. Engines without TVIS (i.e. post 89.5
red Tops) have smaller intake ports.

All 4AGEs have the same exhaust ports and manifolds are basically interchangeable, but intake port
design and size differ.

Red Top 4AGEs have an external oil drain at the back of the intake side.

4AGZEs and all post 89.5 4AGEs have a stronger block with 7 external ribs, bigger bearings and oil
cooled pistons via jets that point up the bores.

Twin coil 4AGZEs has a crank angle sensor in the normal distributor location.

Inlet cam timing changes by approximately 15 degrees at 4500 rpm on 20 Valve engines.

There is reputed to be a supercharged 20 Valve (AE 111 car) but I am unable to confirm this.

The 100 kW 16 Valve, and 20 Valves all have a knock sensor, so it may be possible to run these engines
on low octane fuel. However given the high compression of these engines, it is best to run high-octane
fuel so the best ignition advance profile can be used.
